Novel lead anchor technique using an active fixation quadripolar left ventricular lead in cardiac resynchronization therapy

Abstract

Abstract In this report, we present a case of successful advancement of a LV lead into tortuous vessels. This was achieved by deep engagement of the coronary sinus with a cannulation catheter by applying the anchor technique using the Medtronic Attain Stability Quad lead.
